Emerging Generations Ministry Student Role

Emerging Generations Ministry Student Role

We are looking for someone to help us work with our Emerging Generations ministry (0-30yrs) at
St Saviour’s, supporting them in their walk with Christ and navigating life in an ever-changing
world.

Why become a Ministry Student at St Saviour’s?

This is a great opportunity to gain ministry experience & grow as a wholehearted disciple of
Jesus, as you serve our growing, diverse, multigenerational church community.

We want to invest in you. We are passionate about developing & discipling young leaders who
will impact the wider church and the world for generations to come. You will be line managed by
a member of our leadership team who will invest in your development and spiritual formation,
giving you opportunities to serve and help shape the future of the ministry areas you will be
working in.

You will play an active role within the staff team and therefore have key relationships with them.
We would also encourage you to find a spiritual director (and can help source one).

As part of this role, we will offer training 1 day per week, taken on as a voluntary commitment in
your own time.  This will be delivered by the ‘First Timers’ Guildford Diocese course (4 hours a
week). We will also provide & fund opportunities for you to receive development from the wider
church (e.g. through conferences, training etc).

Each Ministry Student focuses specifically on one or two ministry areas within our emerging
generations (0-30s) whilst also gaining experience serving across the church with opportunities
to ‘have a go’ in different ministries throughout the year.

We anticipate that at least one of our Ministry Students will primarily work with students and
young adults; more information about this role is available here.

The successful candidate will:

•  Be a prayerful, committed Christian with a demonstrable love and concern for the

spiritual growth and practical needs of people within their care.

•  Become a member of St Saviour’s Church, supportive and committed to its vision and

values.

•  Be able to lead, motivate and organise a team that mainly consists of volunteers.
•  Be able to handle the constantly changing demands of the role, and have confidence in

managing multiple aspects of the role at the same time.

•  Have the discretion appropriate to pastoral ministry.
•  Have some experience of serving in Christian ministry.

•  Be someone who is open to learning and receiving feedback- we would love to support

your ongoing development.

•  Be a person of integrity. Part of being a Christian leader is modelling a lifestyle that is

reflective of being a disciple of Jesus and is in keeping with the values and teaching of the
church you lead in. Hence, we expect those in significant positions of responsibility at St
Saviour’s to respect and endeavour to uphold the values and teaching of St Saviour's and
the wider Anglican church in their conduct, and to be sensitive to other people's
perception of their lives. Please speak to a member of the leadership team if you have
questions or concerns about this.
